Spiral Flute Tap: 3/8-16, UNC & UNF, 3 Flute, Modified Bottoming, 2B Class of Fit, Cobalt, TiN Finish MPN:9039540095250

The Spiral Flute Tap is a high performance tool that enables easy cutting of internal threads in various materials such as aluminum, brass or cast iron with consistent thread profiles. Its 3/8-16 size covers a range of applications from fine pitch small parts to larger bearings and connectors while its 2 flute design reduces friction for smoother operations with minimal chip clearance requirements. The modified bottoming tap prevents breakage or stripping during initial entry, ensuring successful thread formation. The cobalt construction provides excellent wear resistance and heat dissipation capabilities even in demanding environments such as machining at high speeds or with hard materials. Finally, the TiN coating improves tool life further by reducing wear on cutting edges from abrasive chips and provides easier chip removal during use. With its versatile specifications and enhanced performance characteristics, the Spiral Flute Tap offers precise threading results that benefit manufacturing processes in automotive, aerospace or general industries where precise threads are critical for functionality and reliability.
